What are you guys using for steet tires and race tires for the 3800sc swaps. I am going to buy a new set with my taxes. Thanks

Nitto nt555r 245/45 17 on the rear

I like them. A real big improvement on the azenis Rt-615 above 350whp or so. The azenis were plenty sticky enough when I was still supercharged and they take corners even better.

Turbo 3800 E85 5spd spec5
11.54@132.7

I use Cooper Zeon 2XS 245/45/18 s on the back and 225/45/18's on the front. They stick well and corner well. I have a 3800SC III with 1.8 rockers, a NorthStar Throttle body and ported front exhaust manifold with a 3 inch custom exhaust by Ryan.

As the weather cools though all that stickness goes out the door. When the temps drop below 50 degrees the rear tires spin quite easily and I can slide out the rear end pretty bad.

More than likely your tune adds 2* of timing which gives mo POWA.

I run Hankook V12 245/45/18 in the rear and they stick pretty good however they have a sticker pair that I WILL upgrade when I go Turbo and wear out these V12's.
I would post a Video launching out of the hole like angry birds on fire....WEEeeeeee But you probably have seen it already.

Mickey thompson drag radials - dead hook at track and very drivable and sticky on street. Just stay out of the rain
